THE HYPE SPOTLIGHT: Bullet Age

“The world of New Haven is a wasteland. The ARC empire destroyed it with a single Mutagen Bomb that transformed it’s creatures to mutated monsters.

Become the Gunsword heroes in this classic co-op 2D action-platformer as they become the last hope for the United Resistance.

Gain powerful abilities to dash, spin, and blast through creepy creatures, mutated soldiers and huge bosses. It’s up to you to stop the ARC from achieving world domination.“

WHY ARE WE HYPED TO PLAY IT?

Because Bullet Age looks like an awesome co-op run n’ gun action-platformer!

After playing games like Contra cooperatively with my cousin in my younger years, I’ve got a lot of love for old school run n’ gun shooters. Naturally then, Bullet Age ticks plenty of boxes for me, with it’s 2D action-platforming and frantic gunplay looking like it’ll be a whole lot of fun, albeit with a modern twist when compared to the games I played in my earlier years. It even adds some hack and slashing elements to the mix too, which can only be a good thing.

Add to that some impressive hand-drawn visuals, a plethora of levels to play through, and, of course, some local co-op action, and we could have something special on our hands with Bullet Age.
